I checked out an open house in the building last week. There still seems to be more work to be done in the amenity and common areas, but it looks very nice so far. I really like the lobby space with the future gallery space. The corridors and elevator lobbies are pretty spacious and wide and...

I actually like how they banked on and played up the douchy, player lifestyle which they are targeting. Apparently there is enough DB's in our city for this kind of development. I think it's brilliant, but I wouldn't want to live there though.

Ages ago when I was attending U of T I was sharing a small basic dorm at University College and eventually upgraded to my own dark basement apartment in the Annex. Students are now renting brand new luxury high-rise condos packed full of hotel-like amenities? Wow, times has changed.

This will be a great addition to this rather quiet stretch of Front Street. I can't wait for a Whole Foods to open here. The design really reminds me of Umbra's FishCondo, ironically: still cool though!

The People's Choice Awards takes into consideration marketing, branding, and sales, not just the design of the building. While Massey Tower was nicely designed by stellar Hariri Pontarini Architects on a very high-profile site and location, it's marketing lacks in clarity and refinement. INDX...

I would easily take Cityplace over Liberty Village anyday. Yes, Cityplace lacks the retail that LV has, but the urban planning, open spaces and level of architecture is far better than LV. Retail will eventually catch up when all the roads and transit are connected and more people move in. The...

According to the article the renters were offering at least $100,000 to move out. I think that is extremely generous as they are renters and don't own their units. I haven't heard of any renter being offered that much to vacate. What I am really shocked about this development is that selling...

I used to live on Lakeshore near Bathurst on the 30th floor and I had a ton of spiders on my balcony. The spiders seem to multiply quickly and some were freakishly large and scary looking. I've heard spiders is a very common on condo balconies near the waterfront due to the humidity and...

it's all smoke and mirrors.

The first interior is more feminine while the second interior is more masculine. Yes the units are generally pretty small in this development but you can't expect much when they are basically redesigned hotel rooms. Consider it glorified crash pads.

The black/tinted windows and red brick looks just right. Very sharp and complements the neighbouring buildings extremely well. No worries about window treatments and furniture behind the glass cluttering the look of the building. More condos should be designed like this.

I was fearing the same thing. More similar slab buildings of similar height. LV is just dreadful and depressing, and there is no turning back. I was hoping something a little different as this is the gateway to LV and on a more significant thoroughfare.

I wouldn't say it's more interesting than the bridge elements, but it is certainly up there. It will make for a really nice light- and view-filled long corridor for the east building, and that is one incredibly long corridor. Something you almost never see in a condo. It will be definitely well...

Looks like black precast. I like it.

Those Eames task chairs could be reproductions, or could be donated or heavily discounted by Herman Miller who are often involved in community causes. Quality furniture is durable and long lasting, and won't require repairs or replacement for a long time. Why can't assisted housing developments...

1,100 to 1,550 sq.ft. for a 3-bedroom unit, now that's realistic for family living. 3-bedroom units in some new upscale condos could be had in less than 800 sq.ft.

I'd guess Lomb + Vic doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

I couldn't stay for the entire Q&A period. I remember hearing some kind of community amenity for the public is being considered, such as a YMCA, daycare centre, school, etc. This would be great for the area. Could this be considered as the employment component? What is considered employment...

The canyon of condos continues to grow in Liberty Village.

It's not a bad building. There's nothing offensive about it, but there's nothing special or memorable about it. It's a nice neutral background building. The L-shape of the building with one end building pointy while the other end having the zipper pattern balconies up the building is rather...
